Kris Doolan (born 11 December 1986) is a Scottish professional footballer who currently plays for Partick Thistle as a striker in the Scottish Premiership. Although having spent the majority of his professional career at Thistle, Doolan has previously played in the Scottish junior leagues for Kello Rovers and Auchinleck Talbot as well as a short time spent on loan at Thistle's former rivals Clyde. Doolan has also represented Scotland at junior level for the 2008 Junior International Quadrangular Tournament held on the Isle of Man.
Born in Irvine, he began his career by playing in the Junior leagues, first with a two-year stint at Kello Rovers, before moving on to Auchinleck Talbot. He had a successful time at Beechwood Park for the junior club, and eventually went on trial for Scottish First Division club Partick Thistle. Following a successful trial, Doolan was signed by Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall on an 18-month deal from Auchinleck on 9 January 2009.
He made his debut on 10 January 2009, in a 3–0 defeat against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a Scottish Cup tie. His first goal for the club came on 24 January 2009, against Queen of the South.
